ATgTrible SURGICAL Operation
1. FATAL MISTAKE.

of February 23dy 1883, pub
lished an account of fatal
surgical operationwhich caused
a great connection amongmed-
zeal men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon In Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous 1t
appears that a Mrs.. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The. disease
commenced with ~ slight de-
rangement of the. digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar understandable dis
tress in the stomach. a feeling
THAT has been described as a
faint "all gonc'' sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a Disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was Increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration, There
was constant tired and IAN
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings> Finally
the patient was unable TO re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pssin IN the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies faihng to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had cancer In the stomach,
and in order tosavethepatient's
life an operation was justlfi-
able. Accordingly, ON the I'D
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DIR.
Tuckerman, DIR. Pc.rier, DIR.
Arms, DIR. Gordon. DIR. Capner,
and DIR. Halllwell OF the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity.
of the abdomen and exposing,
the stomach and bowels. When,
this had been done an examin--
alton OF the organs WAS made,
but to tho horror and dissaay
of the doctors there, was. no
! cancer to be found. The, pa
tent did not have n cancer.
When too late the mcaicaEmen
discovered that they had made
q terrible mistake; Int they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound thst they
had made, but the poMswoman
sank from exhaustion and died
in d few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects Of O
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution flor
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing today. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Rooms, or SEIoRL's CURATIVE
) SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor Of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing

A Judge on Divorce.

Judge Howe of Indianapolis recently
made some sensible remarks touching
divorces. An attorn ey wanted him
to take up a divorce case, urging that
it would take only five minutes to try
it. But the judge said that no case OF
divorce could be tried in five minutes,
and went on to make some reflections
On the multiplicity of such actions.
He deprecated the idea that power
ty was a sufficient cause for setting
aside marriage, and denounced the
intermeddling practices of friends and
relatives who fill the wife's head with
the notion that she is a martyr. He
instanced a case which had come be-
fore him. where the daughter OF we'll
TODD citizen had married young
man, and although he had done the
best he could, the wife was told by
meddlesome friends that she shoul d
have made better match, and eventu-
ally a suit for divorce was the result.
One OF WASHINGTON Irving's most
delightful sketches is that which tells
US OF a wealthy man who married a
fashionable woman and shortly after
their marriage lost all his property
The poor man suffered tortures at the
thought OF how his wife would feel
when she knew the facts, but to his
surprise and Joy, she went from the
big city house, with its fine furniture
to the little cottage in the country,
with a light heart and merry counte-
nance, and theirhappiness was uninter-
rupted.
This was probably mere fancy
sketch OF Irving's but it has been
many a time matched and more than
matched in real life. And it should be
the true and only story OF welded life
where misfortune has interviewed in
spite OF the husbands honest exer-
tions. The old fashioned idea of mar
riage was that it was marriage for life,
and it will be a good thing when that
idea shall become prevalent again.

The General Assembly,

On the 7th, the treasury reports the ex-
penditure of half a million and $4,000 on
hand.
a. NJ. Dewey, who has been special or
ganizer and instructor of the knights OF
Labor OF America, again introduced

One OF the most interesting features of
the secretary's report is his chapter on
membership. There has been an apparent t
decrease in the membership of the order,
but the secretary has an explanation for
this. He says: The number OF members
reported in good standing at the last session
OF the general assembly was 7O2, 924.
The salary expenses were rs follows:

brought up the grievance of the settlers in
Northern Iowa. The trouble OF the set
tiers is over very large amount OF lands
in o. 'Brien county, which are claimed by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
company, and from which large
number of eyictions have been made.
The petition which Mr.. Sovereign
bore was from the Old Settlers
association and the Knights OF Labor OF
Iowa. 1t was voted to refer the matter to
a committee with Instructions to prepare
a memorial to be forwarded to the secre-
tary OF the interior, protesting in unqual-
ifed terms against the conduct of the rail-
way company in eiecting actual settlers
from lands which the government had de.
c]ared belonged to them. That gigantic
monopoly, the Standard Oil company,
was again brought before the convention
and the people through the medium OF T.

"a Little Children Love to Dig.
The Critic.


! am afraid people overrate the
depth OF childish affection for home.

I asked a boy of 6 years, who was
visiting his aunt this summer, where
he liked to live best-at his own home
or his aunt's. cat Aunt-'s," /" he re-
piled, without hesitation. "Why?"
said |. Because the diggin' ain t so
hard" he answered. This is perhaps
not so unnatural as it sounds. A
child's life at that age is entirely given
over digging, and it makes a great dif-
ference to him whether the earth
is hard or soft. At this chiId's home
the ground was beaten and packed
down, at his aunt's it was soft and
sandy, SO at the end of a day he could
see the substantial results OF his la
bors. Children of a larger growth are
very much like the youngsters in this
respect, though they don't admit it
so frankly. We ali like to do the
things that are easiest-to dig in the
softest soil.

the proposition to subscribe $4,000,

marks red letter day for the little

on an additional subscription Of $780,
900, the week following Hopkinsville's
vote, and it becomes Hopkinsville to
second the glorious lead of Cadiz by

beyond all doubt the building Of a

Eight Cents for Coal.

Princeton gets coal for eight cents
a bushel-excellen clean lump coal
of the finest quality. 1t costs Hop
kinsville two cents more. although
there is no good reason why she
should pay higherprice than Prince
ton does for coal. There are shipped
to this point annually, for consump-
ton in Hopkinsville and the surround
ing county, something over 100000
bushels of coal. The two cents extra
per bushel which our consumers pay
for coal amounts to an annual tax of
$4,000. Thus facts and figures prove
that We are paying on coal alone
every ten years, an extra tax of $780,
900, just the amount of stock which
the Hopkinsville District is asked to
take In the Ohio Valley Railroad
which runs for fifty miles through
one of the finest coal beds in Ken
lucky. OF course every one knows
that stock in the railroad would be
an investment, with market value,
while the 100000 extra coal price,
which we are now paying in annual
cash installments of 1000, is q total
and recoverable loss.
